Product Summary
The ingredient list suggests that "Garnier - Ambre Solaire Ultra-Hydrating Shea Butter Sun Cream Spray SPF30" can provide reliable sun protection. It can protect from both UVA and UVB rays. This is great news because not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. (UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).
It should also be hydrating enough to use without an additional moisturizer during the day. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product has an anti-aging benefit.
Sunscreen filters
This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters. They typically offer good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for some people with sensitive skin. These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: avobenzone 2.10% - 2.60%, octisalate 3.10% - 3.80%, uvinul t 1.40% - 1.70%, homosalate 3.60% - 4.40%, octocrylene 4.70% - 5.70% and terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid 0.35% - 0.60%.
